 * General workflow is the following:
 *
 * Allocation:
 * S: send request to primary
 * P: attempt to allocate memory
 *    if failed, sendmsg failure
 *    if success, send sync request
 * S: if received msg of failure, quit
 *    if received sync request, synchronize memory map and reply with result
 * P: if received sync request result
 *    if success, sendmsg success
 *    if failure, roll back allocation and send a rollback request
 * S: if received msg of success, quit
 *    if received rollback request, synchronize memory map and reply with result
 * P: if received sync request result
 *    sendmsg sync request result
 * S: if received msg, quit
 *
 * Aside from timeouts, there are three points where we can quit:
 *  - if allocation failed straight away
 *  - if allocation and sync request succeeded
 *  - if allocation succeeded, sync request failed, allocation rolled back and
 *    rollback request received (irrespective of whether it succeeded or failed)
 *
 * Deallocation:
 * S: send request to primary
 * P: attempt to deallocate memory
 *    if failed, sendmsg failure
 *    if success, send sync request
 * S: if received msg of failure, quit
 *    if received sync request, synchronize memory map and reply with result
 * P: if received sync request result
 *    sendmsg sync request result
 * S: if received msg, quit
 *
 * There is no "rollback" from deallocation, as it's safe to have some memory
 * mapped in some processes - it's absent from the heap, so it won't get used.
